A delay would bother me a lot.
It wouldn't bother me that much, but... I was recently diagnosed with depression. When I first played P4, I was in a position where I wasn't depressed, but unhappy with a rut I was stuck in and the game managed to grab me in a way where it basically consumed me for a month. You know, when a game grabs you enough, real life goes on autopilot and you just want to live in that world until you finish. Add undiagnosed, but suspected, slightly obsessive tendencies and my mind just keeps ruminating against my will on the stuff frightening me and I could honestly just really use a reprieve like that right now. I've been watching gameplay through the first month and finding it calming in that way, but I don't really want to spoil much more of it.
In the end, it's just a video game and a delay is hardly the end of the world, but I'd be disappointed.
In that vein, I'd like to let you know that you're deeply appreciated, PersonaGAF. I've been avoiding a lot of the forum for the last few months for the sake of not triggering my anxiety, and it's always comforting to come back here and find people being amiable nerds about a beloved video game series.
